Western falls to Petoskey; CBA romps

AUBURN - Bay City Western found out Tuesday why Petoskey is the reigning Division 2 soccer champion.

The visiting Northmen held the Warriors to two shots on their way to a 4-0 nonleague victory.

"They were bigger, faster and more skilled than us," said Warriors' coach Jeff Swears. "We found out that we have to play at a much higher rate, be more physical, and continue to play all the time. Hopefully, this game will help us as we move into Saginaw Valley League play."

After Petoskey scored a quick goal, the Warriors held the Northmen in check for the rest of the half as Petoskey led 1-0 at the break.

The Northmen went on to add three goals in the second half to seal the victory.

Warriors' keeper Taylor Schumann stopped eight shots in the loss.

Western (4-2) hosts Mount Pleasant on Wednesday to open up SVL play.
